2011 was DCE good? or was he just lucky he joined a solid team? to sign a 4 year 50k deal he mustn't have showed much coming through the ranks..

It's the owner's fault entirely

He was virtually signed before Christmas that year but the club took the offer off the table

Foran knew he was leaving early in the piece but didn't have the common decency to tell the club that nurtured him into the player he was and the player he'd never be again

Foran predictably left, the fans knew it but the club was too stupid with it's own power to realize it as Penn just bought out the quantum surfside side of it

During this time DCE famously signed with the tits and Foran finally announced his intentions, which only came as a shock to the club which had it's fingers in it's ears screaming 'lalalalalalala can't hear you lalalala'

The club spent the next 3 months or whatever it was desperately trying to teach DCE how to be just like Tim Moltzen, Luke Lewis among countless others and do a backflip the likes of which were unforgivable although he wasn't the first to do it, just the first player with any talent to do it

Instead of getting what he was virtually signed for at $850k for three years or thereabouts he came home for $1.3m 'for life' or 8 years, whichever comes first

The entire thing falls at the owner's feet

May he stay @ Manly until he retires, suits him so, such an overpaid punce.

Trent Barrett head coach the whole time.

They do get the bonus over his never to be picked for QLD stamp.

DCE suffers the same treatment as Tom Brady in the NFL.

Brady doesn't say words like "y'all" or any other southern slang, he is well educated and gets along well with the media. Similarly, DCE doesn't use the usual NRL bogan slang, talks to and gets along with the media well and is clearly more educated than your standard football player.

The other players just don't like that.

Whilst I agree that he is much more well spoken than the majority of his colleagues, like Michael Clarke in the cricket, I can stand listening to the merkin because he sounds so disingenuous.

Just saying what he thinks people want to hear with a stupid smile on his face. Can't trust blokes like that at all.
